Foundation and the World - Foundation Series

Foundation and the World - Foundation Series Book Description Hugo Award for Best Series of All Time. In 1941, as a young scientist and writer, Isaac Asimov was inspired by Edward Gibbon's History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire and wrote an epic far beyond his time: Galactic Empire. The collapse of Russia and the return of feudalism were told from a perspective that looked back from the safety of the Second Galactic Empire. As a result of this process, questions such as "Can history be predicted?", "How should society be governed?" or “Why do empires rise and fall?” The epic Foundation Series, which does not hesitate to ask questions such as these, has emerged. Golan Trevize chose between the Second Empire and the Galaxy instead of the anarchy of struggling individuals, nations and planets, in favor of the Galaxy and a utopian future in which all humanity would share a collective consciousness. But he wasn't sure he made the right choice. All he had to do to find out was find humanity's first planet, Earth, which was said to be uninhabitable and abandoned. Along with Pelorat and Bliss, Trevize, who travels to three uncharted Spacer planets to gain knowledge, will uncover the mystery of Earth while encountering robots, wild creatures, strange societies and the secrets of the Galaxy.
